having a slightly lower pressure on the back helps the back end grip better in the wet. More tyre on the road. Having higher pressure on front is a must because of the engine weight and braking forces. | |

Yes for a Corsa B, 35 on the front and 29 on the back seems best. | |

omg, THE TYRE PRESSURE SHOULD BE THE SAME AS THE STANDARD TYRE PRESSURE, u cant ask people of here cos it depends what sort of driving you do etc.. refere to ure drivers manual which will give you the correct pressure for your sort of driving and load in the car. its the same no matter wat tyres u have. | |

if u go to an air machine there is usually a chart on the wall with recommended tyre pressures look for somethin close to ure tyre size and car model. | |

the reason i'm sceptical is that my dad's porsche the rear tyres are 265/35, so thats 91mm profile, mine are 205/40 so mine are 82mm profile. | |
